20. The Deserted Village Before

Sweet Auburn, loveliest village of the plain,
Where health and plenty cheered the labouring swain...
Dear lovely bowers of innocence and ease,
_ Seats of my wauth, when every sport could
please,
How often have I loitered o'er thy green,
Where humble happiness endeared each scene;
How often have I paused on every charm,
The shelteredicot, the cultivated farm...

21. The Deserted Village After

The man of wealth and pride
Takes up a space that many poor supplied...

His. seat, where solitary sports are seen, Indignant
ns. the cottage fromthe green; Around the
“world each needful product flies, For all the
luxuries the world supplies:

While thus the land, adorned for pleasure all, In
barren splendour feebly waits the fall.

26. Jerusalem

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God

On England's pleasant pastures seen?

And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my Bow of burning gold:
Bring me my Arrows of desire:

Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold
Bring me my Chariot of fire.

I will not cease from Mental Fight
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem

In England's green & pleasant land.
